An Emirati businessman has contributed AED 5 million to support the Fathers’ Endowment campaign, which was started by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The campaign was launched to honour fathers in the UAE by creating a sustainable endowment fund. The money raised will be used to provide healthcare and treatment for people in need.
This generous donation is part of a growing community effort to support the campaign. The initiative, which is run by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), gives people the chance to donate in the name of their fathers. It promotes important values such as kindness, compassion, and respect for parents. The campaign also highlights the UAE’s role as a leader in charity and humanitarian work, while encouraging more people to support charitable endowments.
The Fathers’ Endowment campaign aims to spread values of generosity and unity, while strengthening the UAE’s presence in global charity efforts. It reflects the country’s long-term vision of making charitable giving a lasting part of its culture.
